A Dog's Journey (A Dog's Purpose, #2)

Destroy my heart in tiny little pieces why don't you?
Bruce Cameron delivers an extremely powerful sequel in this lovely doggish series. In the first book we learn the story of Bailey and his infinite loyalty towards Ethan, through his multiple lives. In this excellent addition to the series we learn the story of Molly and her undying love for Clarity, Ethan's niece.
A dog's love is something precious and that is the part that I loved. But this fucking book hits you from all angles and so many times that I also grew to hate it. It burned me so much that many times I just had to drop it and gather all possible strength to read it at a later time. It's that messed up, but not because of that, less valuable.
A highly memorable read. A favorite place well earned. A book specially recommendable for the dog lover. Innumerable moments to remember. Indescribably beautiful, insufferably painful. After reading it you cannot but love even more your doggy companion. But I have to strongly warn beforehand that it has many, maaany extremely painful moments. Empathy is a beautiful and wicked gift. It can bring you as much happiness as can pain. And there's a very specific pain, when you feel that something happens to an animal.
**** The movie is a nice adaptation of the book. Many serious deviations from the main plot, some good, some not. Luckily, the many changes on the plot made the whole thing much less painful than it originally was, so it's is a much friendler version than the book. Easier to watch, easier to love.

Haceme mierda el corazón, por qué no?
Bruce Cameron entrega una fuertísima secuela en esta adorable saga perruna. En el primer libro conocemos la genial historia de Bailey y su infinita lealtad hacia Ethan, a través de sus múltiples vidas. En esta excelente adición a la saga conocemos la historia de Molly y su inmortal amor por Clarity, la nieta de Ethan.
El amor de un perro es algo hermoso y esa es la parte que amé. Pero este maldito libro te pega por todos lados y tantas veces que también llegamos a odiarlo. Me quemó tanto que varias veces tuve que soltarlo y juntar toda fuerza posible para poder continuarlo más tarde. Es así de jodido, pero no por eso, menos valioso.
Una lectura altamente memorable. Un lugar de favorito bien ganado. Un libro especialmente recomendable para el canino-aficionado. Innumerables momentos para el recuerdo. Indescriptiblemente hermoso, insufriblemente doloroso. Después de leerlo no podés mas que adorar más a tu compañero perruno. Pero no puedo dejar de advertir de antemano que tiene muchos, muuuchos golpes bajoneros. La empatía es un hermoso y perverso don. Puede traerte tanta felicidad como dolor. Y hay una especie de dolor muy específico, cuando sentís que le pasa algo a un animal.
**** La película es una linda adaptación del libro. Muchas serias desviaciones de la trama principal, algunas buenas, algunas no. Afortunadamente, los muchos cambios hechos en la trama hicieron toda la cosa mucho más potable que su original, así que termina siendo una versión mucho más amigable que el libro. Más fácil de ver, más fácil de amar.

NOTA PERSONAL :
[2012] [336p] [Ficción] [Animal] [Altamente Recomendable] [Dolorosamente Hermoso] [Molly & Clarity] [Golpe al corazón] [Emocionalmente devastador] [AYUDA!]

Tres y contando :)

Thank you Kelli ! My pleasure :'D


Pretty sure...

But it sounds like an intense, moving, and powerful journey worth taking. One of these days...
Great review, Federico! 😊



I commend you for reading this! You’re much stronger than me.

I don't blame you Sue, I would not reat this at this time either. Maybe save it for a time when you feel like getting wrecked. A lot.

Great review, Federico!."
Too intense. Or maybe I was just feeling too emotional at the time. Thank you Renégade ♥! Hope you like it!

Was it heartwarming? The ending sure was, and I think the book was too but I was so overwhelmed by the heartbreaking parts that I can only remember the pain. Thank you Yun! Hope you like it someday,

Glad you could enjoy the movie with your daughter JD! It definetely was a much sweeter version than the book. I'm currently reading #3 A Dog's Promise, it's good but it doesn't really compare to book #1 or #2.

I commend you for reading thi..."
Thank you Dahling! I'm grateful for the experience of reading it. A favorite I will never forget. And you may call me a weakling, but I wouid never, ever read it again.




If the book is unforgettable, then all the pain and heart wrenching moments were worth it. You can only suffer a lot if you cared a lot. Not many books manage to make that happen, only the special ones.

Hope you like the book as well Jasmin. I can't say I have read a lot of books after watching the movie. Just a couple of times and mainly by forgetfulness or accident.

I don't have much experience with dog books or series to know if it is good compared to other dog stories, but I can honestly say that I'm positive at least it won't disappoint you, a lot. Maybe.

Not cruelty per sé, I think, wow my memory of specifics has faded a lot over the years. But it is extremely heartbreaking, that much I can remember. And still one of the best doggy books I've read so far <3
